Check Engine Code Light

88 f150 5.0 EFI

Code seems to read as follows

||||-|-|||||-|||-|||-|||||-|||-|||

| = Check Engine Blink


This is 41 53 35 33 or what?

This was done with Engine off. So KOEO.

With KOER (key on engine running) I'm seeing 4 blinks and an increase of engine idle RPM to 1800 when normaly 1000.

Thanks

There should be a separator pulse in there between two groups of codes. Each group of codes will be flashed twice. See here: EEC IV Self Test hookup

The KOER test will blink 4 times for a V8, then do some tests of sensors/actuators, then possibly give a single flash which is your cue to give the throttle a quick stab, touch the brake pedal, turn the wheel 1/4 turn, and push the O/D cancel switch (if there is one). Then it will output any codes.
